Components
Learn about our Components solution to collect payments.
Components
Components comprises a collection of pre-built UI components supported by a Javascript SDK. When utilising this integration method, sensitive cardholder data is directly entering into our PCI DSS Level 1 compliant environment, tokenised securely without requiring any interaction with your server. This approach minimises the exposure of sensitive data on your website, reducing the risk of data breaches and allows you to complete SAQ-A.
Payment methods
- Cards
- Apple Pay
- Google Pay

How it works
Typical customer journey for eCommerce merchants using Components:
- When the customer is ready to complete a purchase they visit the checkout page.
- The merchant server uses the cardholder transaction information to create a payment session and Acquired returns a
session_id
. - The
session_id
is then loaded on the client side into the Component. - The Component collects the payment details, any additional information such as billing or shipping data and presents the payment result to the cardholder.
- The merchant server receives a webhook notification containing the payment outcome.
